I wanted to share with you guys a cool site I came across that sells nice cosmetics products on the cheap, beautyticket.com. It seems they get discontinued and limited edition makeup from companies like Smashbox, YSL, and Too Faced and sell it waaaaaaay below retail price which is totally awesome for ladies (such as myself) who love a good deal. Who doesn't in this economy, right?

I actually ordered a couple months ago so unfortunately most of the items I have here are no longer for sale but I thought I would still share what I got in case you wanted to snag it on eBay. It also seems there is ALWAYS something new I want on Beauty Ticket. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing!

Anyway, gotta say I am super happy with my purchases. Highly recommend this site and the products they carry! On with the pics!

My haul

Smashbox blush from the wicked lovely collection. LOVE the packaging. Color is a burnt dusty-rose. A little more brown than I'd usually wear, but I'll probably use it a lot more come fall. The flip-out mirror is a nice touch.

This Smashbox tinted lip treatment lipstick is a cool idea-lipstick and balm in one. The color goes a bit Barbie pink on me, but the balm part makes it sheerer and more wearable. It feels nice. Not crazy moisturizing, but not drying either.

These are my favorites of my haul, the two glosses. Absolutely in love with both colors. Cactus flower is a purse staple gloss, perfect for any look and any occasion. My new favorite everyday MLBB (my lips but better) gloss. Dragonfruit is actually another purse staple that is SO COOL and unique. It's like a pale nude that flashes red in sunlight. From far away it simply looks like a pale pink gloss with oomph.

Hand swatches in direct and indirect sunlight. See the ridiculous amount of awesomeness Dragonfruit has? So sad it's discontinued but so glad I grabbed one! The Charm blush has a nice glint to it also.

My order also came with a freebie lipgloss keychain from Hard Candy

And this coupon for 10% off (which I'm sure they won't mind if you use too!)

My face with my new makeups :D

And a close-up of my lips with the Smashbox Tinted Lip Treatment in Shine with Estee Lauder Crystal Gloss in Dragonfruit over it. Yay for healthy pink lips!

Let me know what you guys order if you get anything from there. I'm pretty positive I'm going to again -very- soon. I can already feel the pull... Oh no... Oh lawdy...
